It doesn’t [...]
Madness in Milano

Milan is nice. Many really old buildings, lovely architecture, contrasted with the new buildings sprouting out all around. It’s full of colour, and while walking down the many alleys I always have this feeling of turning back to soak in the view and atmosphere of the streets. The Duomo di Milano is breathtaking, the Gallerio [...]

part of cabbage 0.50
2 onions 0.30

It’s 8pm before it gets dark now, stupid daylight savings. I keep thinking that I have the whole “night” to study. So after dark I have dinner, settle down and it’s 10pm.
Got to speak to Wendy last night! Her voice sure sounds different with the cough [...]

The agent kept changing his position. First say that there’s spaces, then just as I commit he suddenly says that there isn’t any more. He does that repeatedly till I have to pay an extra $250. Then he says I have to fly Sg – Zurich on 14 Feb, and Frankfurt – Sg (sorry no [...]
